I'd be happy if he was just getting a game, I don't expect him to be setting the world on fire early in his career.
Injuries haven't helped his cause. Even that turf toe has lingered alot longer over preseason. Similar to Kennedy he has showed potential in the VFL. The way the game's set up these days he it's harder to play two key forwards. Levi's still entrenched, for now at least, and then we have C.Curnow in the other key role and even sometimes Cripps up there too when he's taking a break from the midfield. He could play as a key forward as well as he's does a midfielder if we ever decided to go down that path. McKay will eventually take Levi's role. The one I do like in the VFL amongst our key forwards is Kerr.
